What is the East Devon Carbon Action Programme? 

This programme has now closed. 

The East Devon Carbon Action Programme (EDCAP) was a support package for businesses and community organisations in East Devon to decarbonise their operations and cut energy costs. This included:

1. Free training sessions, workshops and access to online tools
2. Free access to a one-to-one support coordinator
3. Free commission of a carbon footprint report and action plan 

The programme had been designed to accommodate time-poor businesses and community organisations, with a focus on cutting costs as well as carbon.  

This programme was active until December 2025. 

Who is eligible for EDCAP support?

All businesses and community organisations who operate in East Devon were eligible to attend the training and workshops. To receive the other types of support, the business/organisation must primarily trade/operate from East Devon.

A ‘business’ is defined as a sole trader, micro business, small and medium-sized enterprise, or large enterprise. It includes social enterprises where these engage in economic activity. It also includes holiday letting businesses where these are registered on Companies House.

A ‘community organisation’ is defined as a charity, community interest company (CICs), social enterprise (which does not engage in economic activity), voluntary organisation, religious institution, local authority, education provider or other local public sector body, with legal status.

Our supplier prioritised those businesses and community organisations where EDCAP support will likely have the greatest impact.
